Broken River

BR FEATURES TWO BIG OPEN BOWLS THAT SEEM TO TRAP SLIGHTLY MORE SNOW THAN OTHER PLACES.

Ahhhh…. the lunch hut! “BR” as it is known to the locals is THE place for lounging in the sun. Okay, enough of that! lets get out there! This is a favourite place for the powder pigs amongst us to wallow.

The varied natural hips, berms, rollers and windlips in these bowls make for heaps of fun, and the surrounding ridges and peaks have steeps, chutes and rock drops which will provide the thrill seeker with plenty of adrenaline. The home run at the end of the day down Alans Basin is epic.

To get to BR, the once goods lift is now transformed into the amazing passenger venicular that takes you through the Beech forest to the first lodge, where you will continue for a 10 minute walk up the stairway to heaven. Once you’re on the mountain you’ll know it was worth it! There’s even some grooming here for those who don’t like to sink too far into the pow! Friendly staff and locals make for all-round good time.
